ok.but i still want to know what the conclusion is.

hi bobbym

this can be simplified to:

Re: @MIF , Activity:Drawing squares

hi bobbym

i'm not simplifying it because i want to,i'm simplifying it so that i don't have to implement an algorithm for doing combinations.i'm thinking of converting this to the notation you mentioned before in the big Oh thread.

Re: @MIF , Activity:Drawing squares

The first one is what is considered mandatory, simplify everything! But it hides the structure of the problem. It is hard to see what combinatorics is involved. The second shows a pattern and might even suggest a starting point for more dimensions or different shapes.

There is a really funny example from an Adrian Oldknow book that demonstrates that stereotyped thinking in math can lead to disaster.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

I agree with you regarding the satisfaction and importance of actually computing some numbers. I can't tell you how often I see time and money wasted because someone didn't bother to run the numbers.

hi bobbym

i understand what you mean,but,as i stated clearly,i simplified your formula for computational purposes only.

hi bobbym

this is just basic programming so that's not necessary.
